Given that 
and 
, we can say the following:
Now, remember what happens if we have a negative square root: it becomes an imaginary number. We don't want this, so we want to make sure whatever is under a square root is greater than 0 (given we are talking about real numbers only).
Thus, let's set what is under both square roots to be greater than 0:
Since both of the square roots are in the same function, we want to take the union of the domains of the individual square roots to find the domain of the overall function.
Now, let's look back at the function entirely, which is:
Since 
is on the bottom of the fraction, we must say that 
, since the denominator can't equal 0. Thus, we must exclude 
from the domain.
Thus, our answer is Choice C, or 
.
<em>If you are wondering why the choices begin with the

Answer:
72
Step-by-step explanation:
The dimensions given when you have a triangle is the base and height of the triangle. The formula for the area is
A = 0.5bh
The unknown here is h. We can determine that from the cost of mulch that covers the whole area of the triangle. The equation would be:
4A = 33
Substituting A = 0.5*5.5*h = 2.75h to the equation:
4(2.75h) = 33
11h = 33
h = 33/11
h = 3 feet

Answer:
{587, 1}
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum will be minimized when the second number is as close to zero as is allowed. If the numbers must be positive integers, the sum is minimized when the numbers are {587, 1}.
If the numbers may be real numbers, then the values that minimize the sum are {588-, 0+}
_____
The "cost" of taking a unit from the sum 588 and assigning it to the second number is that the sum of first and 3 times the second goes up by 3. In order to minimize that sum, the second number must be minimized.
